After several fierce battles, both the Red Phoenix Army and the Mongol Army suffered heavy losses and were in urgent need of cultivation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are still more than ten days before the arrival of the two armies, and the Chifeng Army just took this opportunity to start rectifying the affairs in the city and go all out for the next encirclement and suppression.

It's just that there are always too many accidents, and it doesn't take long for the villagers to report that there are traces of enemy movement in the eastern part of the county.

Xiao Feng was afraid, and immediately sent his soldiers and horses to investigate, only then did he know that in Shexian County, Li Xin was leading his five thousand soldiers and horses across the mountains under the banner of revenge for Yan, preparing to invade the territory of Luzhou, and according to the schedule, he was afraid that he would arrive in Luzhou in only three days.

At first hearing the news, Xiao Feng immediately ordered Cheng Feng, Chang Ren and Wang Dong to lead 3,000 people from the 3rd Brigade of the Chifeng Army to set off with six captives to solve the threat of Li Xin and others. As for the main army, which still needs to defend against the Mongol army, it is not advisable to dispatch it lightly for the time being, lest the front-line defense be broken due to weak troops.

What's more, with the strength of the Red Phoenix Army now, combined with the powerful power of the captival cannon, it is enough to solve the army in this world that is not yet equipped with firearms.

After a day's journey, the 3rd Brigade of the Red Feng Army had already arrived in front of Licheng, and then saw Li Xin and others who had already occupied Licheng.

"Then who is Li Xin? Why did he suddenly send out the army at this time, could it be that this person thinks that our Red Phoenix Army was forced to abandon Taiyuan City and withdraw to Luzhou City, so it suffered heavy losses?"

If it is judged by his appearance, then Li Xin can be regarded as a dignified appearance, not only with a fair complexion, but also with bright eyes, and the edges and corners of the knife add to the style, and he can be regarded as a handsome young man.

Chengfeng is much colder, probably because of the pain of birth, the body is a little dry and thin, the skin is very black, like coal, and the height is only more than six feet, which can be said to be the opposite of Gao Fu Shuai.

On the other side, Chang Ren looked at Cheng Feng's arrogant appearance, couldn't help but think in his heart, and squeezed up: "But don't forget, even if the other party has no firearms, the number of people is as high as eight thousand, and it will take a lot of effort to defeat it." ”

"Even so, what do you think we should do to break through this city and repel each other?" Wang Dong asked in a low voice.

Although he is the commander of the Third Brigade, he is a demoted general, so he can't stand up at all in front of the staff directly under Xiao Feng's direct command, so he naturally looks aggrieved.

"In my opinion, if you want to break through this city, you have to lure them out of the city to succeed. This Li city is located in the deep mountains, surrounded by mountains, only the central depression is a small basin, which can be described as an easy to defend and difficult to attack. We are below, and if we attack the opponent with a counterattack, we will suffer heavy losses. However, the city has a weakness, and that is that it is located deep in the mountains, so fresh water is difficult to access. Most of the fresh water in the city is provided by the Turbidity River, so we only need to cut off the absolute water source, and the other party must go out of the city in order to avoid the water source being cut off. ”

was moved by Wang to say this, and Cheng Feng immediately said his thoughts.

Although he has an arrogant personality, after all, he has been trained in the army for a long time, and he is guided by his colleagues, so he naturally knows how to deal with it, so that he can win the greatest results with the least loss.

"Even so, who will attack the castle then?" asked Chang Ren.

Cheng Feng replied: "It is very important to cut off the water source, and the two of you will lead two thousand men and horses to deal with it." Remember, be sure to hold the other person back for at least half a day. As for Nali City, I only need to lead a thousand men and horses to personally attack, and I will definitely be able to retake it. The voice was full of self-satisfaction.

"In that case, let's get started. Chang Ren immediately responded, and went down separately to prepare for many things.

On the second day, Cheng Feng and Wang Dong had already led 2,000 men and horses into the mountains and forests, led by local mountain people, and soon came to the place of the Zhuozhang River.

I saw that among the peaks on both sides, a white practice ran through it, the waves crashed on the shore, I don't know how many waves waved, only to listen to the surging sound, I only felt that the heart trembled. On the banks on both sides, there are several wooden waterwheels.

Driven by the flow of the turbidity river, the waterwheel is constantly running, the water source in the river is lifted up in a wooden tube, and when it turns to a high place, the bamboo tube will tilt, and the fresh water filled with it is thrown into the pool dug out next to it, and the pool is inserted with several bamboo tubes, the bamboo tube stretches all the way to the top of the mountain, this is thirsty black, can use the siphon effect, the water flow located under the mountain is sucked up, so as to meet the needs of fresh water.

And next to this set of water absorption system, there are nearly 100 soldiers guarding it, which can be regarded as heavily guarded.

It's just that these soldiers alone want to resist the resistance of the Red Phoenix Army, but they can't help but think too well.

Chang Ren sneered, immediately took out the gun behind him, aimed at the people who were on guard in the distance, and then pulled the trigger, only to hear a "bang", the person not far away fell in response, and then a series of gunshots continued to sound, and immediately shot all the garrison soldiers.

After the clean-up was completed, Chang Ren ordered Wang Dong to lead the soldiers to continue to guard the surrounding environment, and then took dozens of soldiers to step on the prepared boat, rowed from the turbidity of the Zhang River to the opposite bank, and installed the gunpowder on the waterwheel.

In that case, the other party should find out soon. ”

Taking a deep breath, Chang Ren saw the chimney that went straight into the sky, and knew that Li Xin would lead the army over anytime and anywhere.

Water is the source of life, and if the water source is cut off, the wells in Lai Cheng alone will not be able to feed more than 8,000 people.

Sure enough, after only waiting for half a while, I saw smoke and dust rising at the top of the mountain, and after about half an hour, Li Xin had already led his soldiers and horses down the mountain road and came to the side of the Zhuozhang River.

As soon as he saw the destroyed waterwheel, Li Xinden was furious, and immediately stepped on his horse, and he wanted to catch Chang Ren, who was about to leave.

But at this moment, a burst of gunfire suddenly sounded in the distance, and the continuous rain of bullets was like a storm, just locking its forward direction.

Li Xin was shocked, although he could barely block a few bullets with the spear in his hand, but the rain of bullets was too dense, and several bullets grazed his shoulders and brought out a splash of blood, which made him feel very angry.

"Everyone, attack me at once. ”

After suffering this injury, Li Xin immediately became frightened, and immediately called soldiers to take long-range attack weapons such as divine arm crossbows and catapults, and aimed at the Red Phoenix Army in the distance to attack.

I saw several boulders grazing the boat and smashing into the river, splashing several feet of huge waves when they landed, covering the boat entirely.

Hit by this wave, Chang Ren only felt wet, and the clothes that absorbed water were even more sticky and wet on the body, making people feel uncomfortable, only to see that the falling rocks were getting denser and denser, and he felt even more frightened and hurriedly said: "Hurry up and row and stay away from the other side." His arms did not dare to slacken, and he hurriedly shook the oars in his hands, so as to cross the Turbidity River as soon as possible and come to a safe place on the other side.

Seeing that it didn't work, Li Xin saw that the other party was getting farther and farther away, still about to exceed the range of the bow and crossbow and catapult, and in anger, he grabbed a wide shield and jumped into the air, and the whole person was already more than a few feet into the air, towards the place of normal forbearance.

It's just that the two of them are too far apart, and he really can't get close with his cultivation alone, so he just jumped out about three feet or so, and his body suddenly leaned down, obviously because of his lack of strength, and he was about to fall into the turbid Zhang River.

However, when Li Xin was about to fall into the turbidity of the Zhang River, he saw that he was on tiptoe, but he was on a suspended wooden plank, and then his figure rose to the sky, and he was actually walking on the waves.

"Good fellows. This guy is so good that he can tread the waves. Chang Ren was also frightened when he saw such a scene, took the gun and turned his body, his eyes were sharp, and he was already aiming at Li Xin's body hanging in the air, and immediately pulled the trigger.

With a "bang", the gunsmoke gradually rose from the muzzle.

However, in his eyes, there was only a heavy shield, even if it was enough to penetrate the elm gun, but in front of this iron shield strengthened by true qi, he could only helplessly leave a spark.

"Didn't work?"

Stunned, Chang Ren only felt hopeless.

Although he knew the gap between the two sides, he thought that when he had a gun in his hand, it was still enough to threaten a powerful warrior like Li Xin.

However, the scene in front of him told him what kind of overwhelming gap it would be if these powerful warriors really fought with him.

With a "bang", I saw that Li Xin had already jumped into a small boat, but in a few strokes, he killed all the soldiers on the boat.

After seizing the boat, Li Xinhe looked at the people who were about to flee in the distance, and in anger, he held a shield in one hand and shook the oars in the other, only to see that the oars were like a flywheel, constantly making countless splashes, and then let the boat be like a swordfish, cutting through the river and rushing towards the other party, and his mouth was also sneering: "Although there are some means, but with these things alone, do you think you can hurt me?"

Probably because of the encouragement of Li Xin's trip, at the place on the other side of the city, there were even soldiers who brought small boats into the river, and they also slid the oars and followed.

Seeing that the other party was getting closer and closer, Chang Ren rarely calmed down at this time, and thought to himself: "Is it finally here? In this case, the whole plan should be going smoothly." ”

His own safety is a small matter, and the Red Phoenix Army is a big deal.

In order to ensure the safety of the entire territory of Luzhou, this Li Xin's existence must be erased, otherwise it will grow larger and larger like a pustule until it develops into a tumor that is enough to devour life.

He knows this quite well.

And if it is his life to complete this plan, Chang Ren is willing to sacrifice for it.

In a quiet mood, he had already heard the sound of Li Xin swinging the oars and swinging the water, each time it was like the sound of black and white impermanence footsteps, getting closer and closer, until finally he put the spirit flag on his head, announcing the end of his life.

Hearing only the sound of "bang", Chang Ren couldn't help but turn around with fear in his heart, but there was nothing else in his eyes except for a broken boat, and even if he searched around, he couldn't find any other figures.

"Damn, where the hell is that guy?"

There was no trace in his eyes, Chang Ren only felt a chill all over his body, and his whole body was completely stiff, but he raised his head suddenly.

"When did this guy get so close?"

In his eyes, the sturdy body already occupied the entire sky, the cold iron shield was horizontal in front of him, and the iron slurry in the other hand was also showing a sharp edge.

This person is Li Xin!
